Famous movie gangster Ray Liotta has an estimated net worth of $14 million dollars. But he didn't earn that net worth by shaking down business owners for protection money, or in a numbers racket. No, he earned it by appearing in many feature films, both as a star and in character parts. Liotta's breakthrough is unquestionably Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas, in which he delivers a pitch-perfect performance that has cast a shadow over everything in his career since then. Before GoodFellas, though, he appeared in Something Wild and famously as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams. Before these breakthrough roles, Liotta appeared in films like The Lonely Lady, and the soap opera Another World. Since GoodFellas, Liotta has appeared in dozens of films, most notably Narc, Cop Land, and John Q. He hasn't been exclusively a movie actor, either, doing voice work for the massively popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and playing Frank Sinatra in the TV movie The Rat Pack, for which he won a SAG award nomination. His most recent movies include Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carrell, and Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron. Despite continuing to work regularly, he will probably always be best known for his legendary performance in GoodFellas.
